the colonia Las Vegas.

Benito Torres Portillo,
is accused by authorities of Sinaloa and Chihuahua of being responsible for
many violent events in recent years in the mountains of Choix, during the leaders management of the drug trade.

The attack occurred in
the early hours of Thursday, which
generated strong police mobilization.

The report confirmed
that shortly before 8:00 am on Xicohténcatl street of the colonia Las Vegas two
people were killed by gunfire.

Officials say the two
men who were gunned down were aboard a dark gray Cruiser with California plates
6EUL244. Two people were dead inside the
vehicle. Authorities report that one of those killed in an element of the
judicial police, which was identified as Manuel de Jesus Barraza Armenta 52
years old.

Portillo's brother
Bernardino Portillo Torres, 24, was killed on March 4th, in the Sierra de Urique, Chihuahua.

Benito Portillo had
appointed Bernardino in charge of
Urique, Chihuahua, where he was killed when confronted by the militia.

In the same convoy
Bernardino was travelling with Benito, who managed evade bullets and
flee the area.

Since that event
nothing has been reported about Benito until the news of Thursday that he was
killed along with a former agent of the State Police, Jesus Barraza Armenta,
after being attacked by an armed group as they drove through the streets of
Culiacan

Benito Torres Portillo
and his brother Vincent have both been identified as lieutenants of the
gavilleros group in Chihuahua, that clash for possession of the land in the
mountains of Choix.

Choix is a prime region
in the cultivation of marijuana and opium gum. Portillo
Torres is accused of having ordered large convoys of gunmen,
disguised as federal agents in different highland communities of Choix.

The first major
conflict in the region now known for massive convoys and deadly conflicts, began
on Friday April 27, 2012, in the community of El Pichol, which resulted in the
brother of Adelmo “Lemo” Núñez, being shot and killed. Adelmo was the principal
rival of Benito Portillo. Since 2012, Adelmo
Nunez Molina has been targeted by the alliance of the Beltran Leyva brothers,
because they consider him as a traitor to Alfredo Beltran Leyva, “El Mochomo”,
who he pledged allegiance to after the boss had supported and trusted him before being apprehended in January 2008. That shootout was one of the bloodiest ever
transpiring in the region, with reports of 50+ being killed.

ranch, where would aim to eliminate Adelmo “Lemo” Núñez Adelmo Nunez Molina, aka

The hidden hand of the mexican politicians in power or out of power is behind all the problems, then it spreads to personal problems among the rabble...--I wonder if it is true that arturo beltran leyva and la barbie had the airport of toluca on the estado de mexico in their pocket, with partner genaro garcia luna, and they let peña nieto park "his" helicopter there, as anabel hernandez affirms...--AND that was the reason of arturo beltran leyva's downfall, peña nieto saw where the money was, and garcia luna delivered, but not as he had agreed with arturo...--Never trust a chilango or his promises, and if he is.a politician, from atracomulco, kill him before he bites you in the.ass...

What about lieutenant of the mexican army, gafe arturo guzman decena? Z1 was all man too, until is inner circle and front line failed to protect the boss too, z2 and z3 never knew what happened until they got it up the ass too, somebody's greed got the best from the "zetas".

And what about all the innocent live that the sinaloa cartel took children women and men were killed by those animals alot more people by that cartel then the rest .... with the drugs they sell or by kidnapping and killing don't be stupid they had the media under their control for a long ass time so imagine all those massacre s they committed that were never reported

It's called cleaning house dumb asses. All the heavyweight organizations have been doing this since the beginning of time. It's how they stay in power. I could understand how the Sinaloa haters would say the stupid shit they do. Do yourself a favor and never get involved in the criminal underworld. Not because it's the right thing to do but because yall stupid AF.

The war started over Nunez,they were both CDS and rivals,Nunez flipped to Beltran and took all his people so CDS wanted to clear him out,as far as anyone here knows,maybe Portillo Gil was still CDS or independent?
